LeAnn Rimes' Christmas EP cover is quite lovely

Introducing your newly crowned Ice Queen. 

Just in time for Halloween, LeAnn Rimes is releasing a new Christmas EP called "One Christmas: Chapter 1."

The EP will feature 6 songs and is the second holiday release of LeAnn's career, the first being "What a Wonderful World" (2004). It is also the first in a set of three Christmas EPs or albums that will be released over the next couple of years - one in 2015 and the final in 2016.  

"I made a Christmas record a long time ago, and this time," Rimes says, "I decided I wanted to spread it out over three years so I didn't have to stop making Christmas music. We had so much fun making this first EP. I tried to play around with it as far as things you don't typically hear me do. A lot of the vocals sound very live, and it's just a really cool piece of music. It's very eclectic. It has a lot of soul, and it sounds really organic."

LeAnn will also be setting off on a Christmas tour this season. Her One Christmas tour dates so far are:

12/5 – Rutland, VT
12/7 – Bethlehem, PA
